The effect of hydrogen addition on the defor-mation behavior of coarse-grained Ti-55 alloys (~ 20 μtm)was studied by uniaxial tension tests at high temperature.The elongation of hydrogenated Ti-55 titanium alloy firstly increases and then decreases with hydrogen content increasing at 875 ℃.The highest elongation of 243.8% is obtained in the hydrogenated alloy with 0.1 wt% H,and the peak stress reaches a minimum value of 29.0 MPa in the hydrogenated alloy with 0.3 wt% H.Compared with that of the unhydrogenated alloy,the elongation of the hydrogenated alloy with 0.1 wt% H increases by 41.3%and its peak stress decreases by 40.6% at 875 ℃.Hydro-gen addition can promote the transformation of β phase and the dislocation movement.Appropriate hydrogen content can evidently improve the deformation properties of coarse-grained Ti-55 titanium alloy.
